Your Own Power Company

Off Grid
Powering your home off-grid means assessing all potential loads, storage requirements, and the best source of renewable power on your land. Then you have to set up and run all this equipment. How do independent Albertans get the expertise to become their own power company?

Made-in-Alberta
Energy, water and climate, these are hot topics for the 21st Century. With conventional fuel reserves running out, water tables running low, and global temperatures running high, many Albertans are finding new energy solutions. Made-in-Alberta brings their stories to community television and the world wide web with this innovative new series.
